摘要
A fluxgate sensor suitable for the vector measurement of small d.c. magnetic fields is described. The sensor core of oval (race-track) shape is etched from 35 mum amorphous tape. After symmetrization, 1 nT sensor offset and 10 pT rms noise are achieved. The tuned mode for sensor excitation utilizing non-linear resonance is discussed. The optimum pick-up coil length is derived. 9 mm diameter, 3 mm thick sandwich-type ring-core sensors made by the same technology are suitable for portable magnetometers with a resolution better than 1 nT. The methods for parametric amplification of the sensor output voltage, current output and detection of higher harmonics are discussed.
